4 RATIONALE In today s classrooms, educational pedagogy is often founded on Benjamin S. Bloom s Six Levels of Cognitive Complexity. The practical application of Bloom s Taxonomy is to evaluate students thinking skills on these levels, from the simple to the complex: Knowledge (rote memory skills), Comprehension (the ability to relate or retell), Application (the ability to apply knowledge outside its origin), Analysis (relating and differentiating parts of a whole), Synthesis (relating parts to a whole), and Evaluation (making a judgment or formulating an opinion). The AIMS Teaching Module is designed to facilitate these intellectual capabilities, AND to integrate classroom experiences and assimilation of learning with the students life experiences, realities, and expectations. AIMS learner verification studies prove that our AIMS Teaching Modules help students to absorb, retain, and to demonstrate ability to use new knowledge in their world. Our educational materials are written and designed for today s classroom, which incorporates a wide range of intellectual, cultural, physical, and emotional diversities. 4 Copyright 1999 AIMS Multimedia

13 INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAM For many teens and young adults, having fun with their peers means drinking alcohol, often to excess. Binge drinking consuming large quantities of alcohol in a very short time is an activity that many young people are encouraged to try. The results can be sickness, bad judgement, or serious injury. Seemingly fun and harmless activities like funneling and emptying the keg can lead to alcohol poisoning, coma, or death. Many young people who try these activities are unaware of alcohol s poisonous effects on the brain and body. INTRODUCTION TO VOCABULARY Before starting the program, write the following words on the board. Ask the class to discuss the meaning of each word, and review the terms that are unfamiliar to students. dependency - a physical or psychological need to use a drug B.A.C. - blood alcohol concentration; the amount of alcohol present in the blood alcohol poisoning - a severe elevation of blood alcohol concentration (B.A.C.) which may lead to coma or death binge drinking - consuming large quantities of alcohol in a very short time FOCUS Many people think that binge drinking will make them instantly popular or above the crowd. How does alcohol really change a person's reputation? Can it make someone funnier, more likable or more attractive? Why or why not? DISCUSSION IDEAS Ask students to discuss their opinions about binge drinking. What are the dangers? Why do people do it? Is it safe under the right circumstances? What kinds of things can happen to a binge drinker? Are there ways to protect these bad things from happening? 13
14 JUMP RIGHT IN HOW TO USE THE BINGE DRINKING BLOWOUT: THE EXTREME DANGERS OF ALCOHOL ABUSE AIMS TEACHING MODULE Preparation Read Binge Drinking Blowout: The Extreme Dangers of Alcohol Abuse Themes, Overview, and Objectives to become familiar with program content and expectations. Use Preparation for Viewing suggestions to introduce the topic to students.

Depending on your classroom size and learning range, you may choose to have students view Binge Drinking Blowout: The Extreme Dangers of Alcohol Abuse together or in small groups. Some students may benefit from viewing the video more than one time. After Viewing BINGE DRINKING BLOWOUT: THE EXTREME DANGERS OF ALCOHOL ABUSE Select Suggested Activities that integrate into your classroom curriculum. If applicable, gather materials or resources. Choose the best way for students to work on each activity. Some activities work best for the whole group. Other activities are designed for students to work independently, in pairs, or in small groups. Whenever possible, encourage students to share their work with the rest of the group. Duplicate the appropriate number of Vocabulary, Checking Comprehension, and consumable activity pages for your students. You may choose to have students take consumable activities home, or complete them in the classroom, independently, or in groups. Administer the Test to assess students comprehension of what they have learned, and to provide them with practice in test-taking procedures. Use the Culminating Activity as a forum for students to display, summarize, extend, or share what they have learned with each other, the rest of the school, or a local community organization. 14
15 SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES Connection to Art As seen in the video, binge drinking can cause some nasty, painful side effects. Ask students to bring used magazines and newspapers to class. Each student should also bring a large piece of poster board. Encourage students to use photographs, drawings, cartoons and ads to create posters illustrating the negative effects of drinking. For inspiration, write on the board the following side effects of drinking: loss of coordination changes in personality increased aggression memory loss and confusion dizziness unconsciousness intense thirst double vision sluggishness vomiting bloodshot eyes headache 60 Minutes ART Meeting Individual Needs Ask students to make sentences using the following words. Encourage them to use a dictionary if they are unsure of the meanings. Make sure that their sentences display an understanding of the words as they relate to the program. intoxicated - the state that occurs when someone drinks enough alcohol to affect his or her brain sober - the state of someone who is not under the influence of alcohol or other drugs addicted - strong craving for a drug despite its harmful effects 20 Minutes Link to the World Peer pressure has been sited as the leading cause of binge drinking among young people. In order to be prepared for the intense pressure to drink, students must carefully consider their personal feelings about alcohol. How has alcohol affected people they know? What do they have to gain by drinking alcohol? What do they have to lose? Ask each student to complete the following statement: I choose not to drink alcohol because... Give the class a few minutes to brainstorm some responses. Encourage them to choose their strongest responses. Then initiate a class discussion, allowing students to share their responses. 30 Minutes 15
16 Link to the World Ask the class to create an anti-binge drinking campaign targeted specifically at one of the following groups: young women college students children of alcoholics young men students preparing for prom Extended Time What key points do students want to get across in their campaign? What tactics can they use to persuade the group not to drink? Would it be more effective to use hard-hitting facts or an emotional persuasion, such as a photograph and a moving story? Extended Activity Alcohol can have serious effects on judgement and decision-making skills, especially for young people. In fact, young people face at least eight increased risks because of alcohol. Ask students how many of these risks they can guess. Encourage them to think about various situations that would become more dangerous if alcohol were involved. The increased risks include: attempted or completed suicide, sexual abuse or rape, becoming a victim or perpetrator of violence, car accidents, unprotected sex leading to unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease, drowning, falls and other types of accidents, and drug overdose. 20 Minutes Connection to Health Alcohol is a depressant drug. In large amounts, it causes the body s major systems to slow down. This is the main danger associated with alcohol poisoning. Talk with students about the following signs of alcohol poisoning. How is each sign related to the depressant effect of alcohol? does not respond when talked to or shaken (slowed brain activity) does not wake up while vomiting (slowed brain activity) cannot sit up or stand (loss of coordination due to slowed brain activity) breathes less than six times per minute (depressed respiratory function) has skin that appears to be blue or purple (slowed circulation) has cold, clammy hands (slowed circulation) has a slow pulse rate (slowed circulation) 20 Minutes HEALTH 16
17 Connection to First Aid When alcohol poisoning becomes a matter of life or death, many people don t know what to do. Discussing the proper steps to take can help students be prepared. Talk about each of the steps below with the class. Make sure they understand the dangers of leaving an alcohol poisoning victim unattended. 15 Minutes FIRST AID If you see the signs of alcohol poisoning, call 911 for medical assistance. Place the person on his or her side to reduce the risk of choking on vomit. Check the person s breathing. If they take less than six breathes in a minute, perform rescue breathing. Check the person s pulse. If it goes below 40 beats per minute, perform CPR until the ambulance arrives. Stay with your friend until medical emergency technicians arrive. Explain to the medical emergency crew what you know. If you can, tell them what and how much your friend was drinking. If possible, have a certified CPR trainer visit the class to demonstrate rescue breathing and CPR. In the Newsroom Many stories in the news involve crimes or accidents that are alcohol-related. Ask each student to find an alcohol-related article from a local or national newspaper. The article might be about a car accident, homicide, drowning, rape or suicide. Encourage students to make sure that alcohol is mentioned in the article as a contributing factor. Have students write a summary of their articles, along with their own thoughts on the significance of the information. Make sure they explain the role that alcohol played in the story, as well as what might have happened if alcohol had not been involved. Ask students to attach their articles to the summaries. 60 Minutes Culminating Activity Using what they have learned in the unit, ask each student to write a question related to the program. Collect the questions and use them to write a review quiz. After giving the quiz, ask students if they enjoyed designing the test. How would they feel about designing more tests in the future? 60 Minutes 17

29 ANSWER KEY for page 19 CHECKING COMPREHENSION Answer the following questions based on what you learned in the program Binge Drinking Blowout: The Extreme Dangers of Alcohol Abuse. 1. What are some of the side effects of drinking alcohol? Drinking impairs your judgement, making it harder to think things through. It can cause you to act foolish or do things you later regret. It also causes hangovers, headaches, vomiting, and loss of coordination. Binge drinking can cause alcohol poisoning, coma or death. 2. According to the program, why do some people engage in binge drinking? Many are first-time or inexperienced drinkers who don t know their own tolerance for alcohol. Others want to impress their friends or older peers, especially if the peers encourage them to drink. In addition, some people might be embarrassed about not being able to drink as much as others. 3. Why do young people get alcohol poisoning more frequently than adults? Many young people do not know their own limits with alcohol. In addition, young people are usually smaller than adults. Therefore, their body weights cause them to become intoxicated more quickly. A lower dose of alcohol creates a higher level of toxicity. 4. Why is it dangerous to take alcohol with others drugs, like sleeping pills? Like alcohol, sleeping pills and other drugs slow the body s vital systems. When taken together, the effects of the two drugs stack up and can be a lethal combination. Brain activity, respiration and heart rhythm can become too slow to sustain life. 5.
